Feeding Instructions
Follow these guidelines to encourage natural feeding behavior and maintain digestive health:
- Daily serving: Feed once daily. Adjust portion size according to species, age, and activity level.
- Optional prep: Moisten the pellets with water to create a flavorful mash — this can increase palatability for some tortoises.
- Fresh water: Always ensure fresh drinking water is available.
- Storage: Store unused food in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
Note: This product is designed to complement natural forage (safe grasses and tortoise-safe greens). For juvenile tortoises, consult your veterinarian about additional calcium and vitamin D3 needs for optimal shell growth.
